FORESTAY ADJUSTER. Mast set up with low rig tension applied ( 60lb MAX - no 470 type tension on the Supernova!). Attach a tape measure (7.5m recommended) to the main halyard and hoist it all the way to the top. If you have a stopper bobble on the end of your halyard make allowances for the lower distance you will measure. Now measure to the top of the upper rudder fitting. Pull the tape tight, especially when windy. This effectively measures the long side of the triangle formed by the hull and the mast.
